Aah, thank God you asked this, Ken!! I was wondering the same thing when I saw the comments regarding that box art. ☺ Be it in English English or American English the pronunciation of this word has bothered me. Same goes for the word "buoyancy"!

I remember something odd... mind you, the FW 190 was mean enough as it was, with that massive radial power plant. Then they took it too far with the introduction of afterburners, as seen in the box art photo. So much power that the wings wouldn't stay on! Mind you, after building that kit, I remember that the left wing on the box art did closely represent the warp of the kit parts.

Yeah. You didn't know that! Only the flat black 190 "night fighter" midget version had the afterburners. Everybody knows this.

....Aaaaaand we're back!

That's a cool box cover. It plays well on the fact that a young boy's imagination automatically associated the Luftwaffe as black knights. I think even the young would be able to cross check that one online if it was released today.

Ahhhh, the classic "Bubble-Bubble Top" Canopy look! Yes. And that was a MiG? I thought it was a swing-wing from NASA with the Sabre being the chase plane. Huh, go figure. Learn something new every day ;)
